Gigabyte's Aivia Osmium mechanical keyboard reviewed

@ 2013/03/22

One of the best things about this whole hardware reviewer gig is getting to work from home in front of a bank of pretty sweet desktop PCs. Pants are optional, the fridge is maybe 25 feet away, and my dog can crash behind me on an oversized bean bag. Comfort is essential, because one of the worst things about this job is the sheer number of hours it takes to produce quality content. I spend an inordinate amount of time holed up in my lab.

In the past couple years, that time has become noticeably more enjoyable thanks to the mechanical keyboard trend that has swept across the industry—and my workstation. My daily driver is a Das Keyboard with Cherry MX brown switches that are perfect for extended writing sessions.
